Interview
Don't be discouraged if the recruiter/hiring manager takes long to respond after the interview. The interview process at CNN takes a LONG time. For me, I applied in August and didn't receive a call back for an interview until October. Once I interviewed it took another 2 months for a call back for another interview. Then it took another month to hear back about references and a background check. I was hired in January the following year. The whole process took about 5 months.

Question 1
What do you like to do outside of work?
Who are the senators in the state where you live?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at CNN (Ban Phone Savang) in Feb 2012
Interview
Over the phone, brief because they knew my experience. They asked if I was willing to participate in a show with a non traditional news style. HR ask then lots of questions and review credit, school grade. The process took about 35-40 days and finally I was brought here.

Question 1
Are you wiling to relocate? Are you open to be in a show with a non hard news style?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CNN (Atlanta, GA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Very fluid and conversational. Not any questions about the company.
They seemed like they genuinely just wanted to get a feel for who I am. Very relaxed environment that I really feel I'll fit into. Very quick turnaround in terms of moving from one interview to the next. Only a day between 2nd and 3rd round. Each interview lasted about an hour but the time flew by. They were nice enough to show me the facility and department I would be working in. Very nice and laid back people who take care of business.
